Abstract

Background: Penetrating cranial injuries are rarely reported on thick parietal bone. Goal of its management include removal of the foreign object while minimizing furher damage to the brain and associated neurovascular structures, also prevent further complications.Case Description: We report a case of a 22-year-old male presented with machete stucked in his head following an accidentally fell down of the weapon from a coconut tree. The cranial location affected were midparietal. He was disoriented on admission, with neither neurological focal signs nor seizure. Computed tomography (CT) revealed that the object penetrate middle superior sagittal sinus. After emergency craniotomy to remove the objects, debridement, dural sinus repair were performed. Recovery was complete without sequelae.Conclusion: Laceration of the middle thirds of the superior sagittal sinus require special handling and care during surgery. Operative approach and treatment strategies are among the most important considerations to achieve the best patient outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Spinal cord intramedullary cavernous malformation (SICM) is kind of rare vascular disease, and the therapeutic strategy is still under debate. Cavernous malformation (CM) can be found throughout the central nervous system (CNS) but only rarely occur within the spinal cord. The purpose of this article is to describe natural history, clinical presentation and outcome of SICM case which treated surgicallyCase Presentation: A 70-year-old healthy woman presented with lower extremity weakness. A posterior laminectomy was performed, and a diagnosis of intramedullary spinal cord cavernous malformation was established. Neurological improvement was seen in one month after surgeryConclusion: Intramedullary CM is a rare disease but one with significant consequences if not managed appropriately. whenever safely feasible, gross total resection is suggested, to prevent rebleeding and further worsened of neurological deficit.
